Colin and I had a 15 minute listen before he had to go and I had to get back to paperwork.
First impressions were of a BIG sound, loads of deeps bass which was controlled and fast and at times hit you in your chest.
Loads of detail and a huge soundstage, yet really defined. The top end was a bit on the slightly over emphasised side, I can be really sensitive to this and I'm not too bothered about it as I'm sure it will lessen as the amp beds in.
Bloody well done Mr Wonfor.

Is John planning to come down at all. Be nice to meet up - your last "gathering" was called off due to a sick note I think. Otherwise, I could probably do Wednesday - unless my sussex clients finally get their books ready

Here is the amp finished, all I need is a lid for it, I'm thinking tinted glass with an air gap.     I 've had a few decent opportunities to listen to my amp now since it was been finished and I can't fault it. The most obvious element of this amp is the large and musical presentation with lots of detail and loads of deep and controlled bass. To keep describing it by highlighting its obvious attributes is like liking a car for it's looks really understanding its how it drives thats just as important. I' m sitting in my home office listening to a bit of Stevie Wonder, what really grabs me right now it all the sheer palatability of the music, the detail is so very very real; the tone and timbre seems like nothing I have heard before. Most top end amps sound brilliant and , well .......top end. But this sounds so real, so totally convincing, I don't know how else to describe it. I am TOTALLY sold out on Colin's big class A amps, there is nothing like them. Come round John and Richard and maybe Steve, tell me what you think. |

Looking awesome. Be nice to get together with the others. I have friends from holland coming round on Thursday this week now, but could do tonight or tomorrow if it works for John, or next week. Your party - set a date  Edit : - set a date, next week looks much better. Tonight is OK - tomorrow is last day for family bbq with both Sue's boys here - so would have to be after 8. Nothing booked next week (yet) |
